Abstract

Many athletes and individuals involved in physical training perform strength and endurance exercises in the same training unit. However, this combination, referred as concurrent training (CT), has shown to blunt strength and skeletal muscle growth responses. This study investigated whether some genes and proteins associated with muscle growth and mitochondrial biogenesis may explain the decreased adaptive response to CT. Thirty seven participants were divided into four groups: control (C), endurance (TA), strength (TF) and concurrent (TC) and submitted to eight weeks of training. Significant results were found in the following variables from pre to post training: maximum dynamic strength - TF from 270,3 (±45,5) to 320,3 (±57,0) Kg and TC from 268,4 (±47,6) to 315,7 (±63,5); quadriceps cross sectional area (CSA) - TF from 8332,4 (±817,5) mm2 to 8849,5 (±893,3) mm2, TC from 8340,8 (±1000,0) mm2 to 8996,8 (±919,5)mm2; mTOR gene expression increased significantly post-training only for the TF (1,01 (±0,10) A.U to 1,44 (±0,17) A.U) and p70S6K1 was significantly reduced post-training (1,01 (±0,15) to 0,536 (± 0,25) A.U) for the TC; p70S6K1 total protein content was significantly greater after TC when compared with C (1,1 (±0,2) U.A vs 0,8 (±0,3)) and phosphorylation of both Akt at ser473 and p70S6K1 at thr389 increased only after TF compared with C (1,3 (±0,2) U.A vs 0,9 (±0,1) U.A and 1,3 (±0,4) vs 0,8 (±0,3) U.A, respectively). TF and TC groups had similar improvements in muscle strength and hypertrophy, besides some differences in the molecular responses. These differences at the molecular level in early phases of the TC do not blunt muscle strength and hypertrophy adaptations compared with the TF (AU)
